Another feature that I really appreciated on the action 4 compared to the GoPro was that the wide angle distortion is minimized on the action 4. The perspectives of technical terrain is more real and life like on the action 4. On the GoPro, the distortion makes the terrain look weird, and not as big as it is in real life.

Thanks for the review Alan. I have a bunch of cameras I fart around with, including a GP11, Insta360 X3 and Go 3, and some older GPs. I don't wear full face because that's not the riding around where I am so I have a choice of chesty or visor mount - the latter only is really possible with the Go 3. Chesty is best but you gotta get that angle right. Visor mount cuts out the horizon which makes for bleh videos. The X3 on chest is great because you can change the FOV to get what you want but the image isn't as good as the GP11. I guess my point is, they all have trade-offs for any given usage. I find the hardest part of any camera though is actually getting out there and using it. The best camera you can get is the one that actually sees the trail.
@mtb_alan
Жыл бұрын
Ha! Great point. For me, the one that actually sees the trail is the one that has the smallest impact on my stoke. If I gotta use an external mic or wear a camera bra or constantly fiddle with the camera, it's gonna see a lot of the inside of a drawer. That's why for me, it's a hard choice between the GoPro HERO11 and the DJI Action 4. Both are really easy to use on trail, and their strengths and weaknesses are so different. 😆

I've been a big fan of the hero 10. I hope the hero 12 doesnt aim to have an even wider fov. Gopro needs to work on the glitches their cameras can have when the battery is lower than about 30% battery. That's the main thing that has had me considering a dji. I still prefer the gopro footage though in this video. I feel like it's a bit hard to tell what's going on and it's bright but kind of...dark if that makes sense.
@mtb_alan
Жыл бұрын
Fully agree. I know I always try to swap my GoPro battery when it gets closer to 40%. That being said, on the HERO11, I've been running the batteries down to more like 15% and have yet to see glitches. re: Bright and dark. Maybe you mean that there's more contrast? Keep in mind that you're looking at color graded footage. I show the raw color before color-grading at the beginning of some of the clips.
@Conner21230
Жыл бұрын
@@mtb_alan Ok cool. I guess gopro is going in the right direction with the previous glitches and other flaws. I have unfortunately not gotten a chance to try the hero 11 so I still can have the glitchers. It could possibly be the contrast but this "bright but dark" visual could also be due to the nd filter and the graded footage combined with that. Im sure it could be easily fixed anyways, and I could also easily get used to it. The OA4 hands down better than the OA3 but I think when the hero 12 is released things may be different.

Nope. I don't need the ND filter. I also don't run higher framerate unless I'm planning to do slo-mo in post. That being said, the Action4 has pretty decent dynamic range and by setting a max on the ISO, you can run lower frame rates and also avoid the overexposure issues.

The DJI Action 4 costs more than the bike I have done all my videos on (a 2nd hand 2010 Giant Faith 0). I know which one I want to spend the $ on... and it's not a brick strapped to the side of my head... Ok it's great if you want to blog and do a few other things that MTB riders don't need to do... but where are the tiny weightless cameras with the same optics, that can clip on a helmet perhaps with a remote battery to give even less mass to steer your helmet around on its MIPS system... If they can make tiny drone cameras with excellent optics and stabilisation, why do we have to be "Amazed" with a small school bus strapped to the side of our head. (I have a pair of motorcross goggles with a camera between my eyes that has great optics... and that's 5 years old...
